Signed: This element is only accessible by signed clients. If you intend to use this element, please contact RIM to establish the necessary agreements that will allow you to have your COD files signed. Signing is only required for use on the device, development under the JDE can occur without signing the CODs.
Certicom: This element is part of the Certicom Cryptography APIs. The Certicom Cryptography APIs provide the tools you need, including ECC based algorithms, to integrate high performance data security into your applications, such as public key data encryption and decryption, digital signatures, and data authentication. Since the Certicom Cryptography API is already in the JDE, its use will remove the need for you to engage in time and resource intensive security integration so that you have lower development costs and a faster time to market. Use of the Certicom Cryptography API requires a license from Certicom. Please contact Certicom directly for more information on licensing fees and conditions.
DSASignatureVerifier(DSAPublicKey key,
byte[] r,
int rOffset,
byte[] s,
int sOffset)
Construct a DSASignatureVerifier object using SHA-1 for the digest.
DSASignatureVerifier(DSAPublicKey key,
Digest digest,
byte[] r,
int rOffset,
byte[] s,
int sOffset)
Constructs a DSASignatureVerifier object specifying the digest to use.
Construct a DSASignatureVerifier object using SHA-1 for the digest.
NOTE: Also, if r and s point to the same buffer, then it is assumed
that the length of r and the length of s are both exactly the length of the private key.
Parameters:
key - The DSA public key to use.
r - The array containing the r parameter to use.
rOffset - The starting offset within the array for r.
s - The array containing the s parameter to use.
sOffset - The starting offset within the array for s.
Throws:
CryptoTokenException - Thrown if an error occurs with the crypto
token or the crypto token is invalid.

Constructs a DSASignatureVerifier object specifying the digest to use.
Although DSA specifies the use of SHA1, we are allowing the use of other digests than
SHA1. This could cause some unstable uses though, so be wary of this.
NOTE: If the digest has any state information in it when it is given to the signature
verifier, this information will be incorparated into the signature.
NOTE: Also, if r and s point to the same buffer, then it is assumed
that the length of r and the length of s are both exactly the length of the private key.
Parameters:
key - The DSA public key to use.
digest - An instance of the digest algorithm to use.
r - The array containing the r parameter to use.
rOffset - The starting offset within the array for r.
s - The array containing the s parameter to use.
sOffset - The starting offset within the array for s.
Throws:
CryptoTokenException - Thrown if an error occurs with the crypto
token or the crypto token is invalid.
